1. After Dylann Roof killed nine South Carolina parishioners in coldblood, James Comey admitted that an error in their background checksystem allowed Roof to legally buy his gun. "We are all sick thishappened," Comey said of the massive screw-up.

2. Shortly after the NSA scandal exploded in 2013, the FBI was exposedconducting its own data mining on innocent Americans; the agency,Bloomberg reported, retains that material for decades (even if nowrongdoing is found). This is particularly ironic since Comey largelylaunched his political career by aligning himself with Sen. Schumerduring the Bush Administration, making himself known as an opponent of acontroversial surveillance program.

3. From 2013-2014, the FBI authorized informants to break the law morethan 11,000 times, a steep increase from the years prior; theseallowances, which the FBI calls "otherwise illegal activity," is part ofa controversial program that has been accused of resulting in theaccidental death of many informants (amongst other unanticipatedconsequences).

4. Comey made an embarrassing gaffe during a speech at the HolocaustMemorial Museum in Washington, D.C. in 2015, when he suggested Polandwas an "accomplice" to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. The commentsangered America's allies in Poland, whose foreign ministry summoned theU.S. ambassador for reprimanding. The ambassador, Stephen Mull, laterapologized on Comey's behalf.

5. When the FBI demanded Apple create a "backdoor" that would allow lawenforcement agencies to unlock the cell phones of various suspects, thecompany refused, sparking a battle between the feds and America'sbiggest tech company. What makes this incident indicative of Comey'squestionable management of the agency is that a) The FBI jumped the gun,as they were indeed ultimately able to crack the San Bernardinoterrorist's phone, and b) Almost every other major national securityfigure sided with Apple (from former CIA Director General Petraeus toformer CIA Director James Woolsey to former director of the NSA, GeneralMichael Hayden), warning that such a "crack" would inevitably wind up inthe wrong hands.

6. In 2015, the FBI conducted a controversial raid on a Texas politicalmeeting, finger printing, photographing, and seizing phones fromattendees (some in the group believe in restoring Texas as anindependent constitutional republic).

7. During its investigation into Hillary Clinton's mishandling ofclassified material, the FBI made an unusual deal in which Clinton aideswere both given immunity and allowed to destroy their laptops.

8. Before Comey's tenure, the FBI came under attack for not takingseriously enough the threat from terror suspects they interviewed. TheFBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go; Russia sent the ObamaAdministration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigatinghim again. Earlier, the FBI had possession of emails sent by Nidal Hasansaying he wanted to kill his fellow soldiers to protect the Taliban --but didn't intervene, leading many critics to argue the tragedy thatresulted in the death of 31 Americans at Fort Hood could have beenprevented. After Comey took over, the sae unfortunate trend continued.The father of the radical Islamist who detonated a backpack bomb in NewYork City in 2016 alerted the FBI to his son's radicalization. The FBI,however, cleared Ahmad Khan Rahami after a brief interview.

9. The FBI also investigated the terrorist who killed 49 people andwounded 53 more at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Despite a morethan 10-month investigation of Omar Mateen -- during which Mateenadmitting lying to agents -- the FBI opted against pressing further andclosed its case.

10. CBS recently reported that when two terrorists sought to killAmericans attending the "Draw Muhammad" event in Garland, Texas, the FBInot only had an understanding an attack was coming, but actually had anundercover agent traveling with the Islamists, Elton Simpson and NadirSoofi. The FBI has refused to comment on why the agent on the scene didnot intervene during the attack.

Embargo? Ha! The North Korean leader relies on an entire black-marketsystem dedicated to getting around UN sanctions so he can enjoy the bestthe West has to sell.

Here’s how Kim Jong-un utilized growth hacking techniques to be thesupreme leader of North Korea (infographic version below):

Kim operated in stealth mode before assuming power. He studiedeverything there was to know about his target market, which was theentire North Korea.Every successful brand has a unique identity. Kim recognized thisearly on. He chose his haircut and charming smile to establish along-lasting presence in the minds of his target market.Before Kim took over the reins, his father Kim Jong-il had alreadytested various marketing techniques and their respective effectiveness.Kim learned the best of them and scaled brilliantly.Using the proper marketing channels is vital for growth. Kimaccomplished just that by restricting the number of potential channelshis target market had access to.Kim never paid much attention to his detractors. He knew he onlyhad to make a positive impact within his target market to grow. And hedid exactly that by ignoring everyone else.Kim took on his competition head on, improvising his techniques asnew challenges started to crop up. He didn’t let even those closest tohim get in his way of success.Once Kim had his target market covered, he never let go of it. Tothis day Kim maintains a tight grip over his position. A great lessonfor anyone who wants to be a successful leader or entrepreneur.

In 2013, Kim Jong-un was named the World’s 46th Most Powerful Person byForbes, proving yet again how essential growth hacking is to propel yourbrand towards success.

And over 4,000 Americans have paid with their lives for that littleadventure. Plus a half a trillion dollars in national treasureYou might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or theeconomic injury incurred from that event.

It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just sufferanother 9-11 every six or seven years.

LocalIf a Best Buy technician is a paid FBI informant, are his computersearches legal?

At a giant Best Buy repair shop in Brooks, Ky., Geek Squad technicianswork on computers owned by people across the country, delving into them toretrieve lost data. Over several years, a handful of those workers havenotified the FBI when they see signs of child pornography, earningpayments from the agency.

The existence of the small cadre of informants within one of the countrysmost popular computer repair services was revealed in the case of aCalifornia doctor who is facing federal charges after his hard drive wasflagged by a technician. The doctors lawyers found that the FBI hadcultivated eight confidential human sources in the Geek Squad over afour-year period, according to a judges order in the case, with all ofthem receiving some payment.

The case raises issues about privacy and the government use of informants.If a customer turns over their computer for repair, do they forfeit theirexpectation of privacy, and their Fourth Amendment protection fromunreasonable searches? And if an informant is paid, does it compromisetheir credibility or effectively convert them into an agent of thegovernment?

Best Buy searching a computer is legal  the customer authorized it, andthe law does not prohibit private searches. But if Best Buy serves as anarm of the government, then a warrant or specific consent is needed. And afederal judge in the child pornography case against Mark Rettenmaier isgoing to allow defense attorneys to probe the relationship between BestBuy and the FBI at a hearing in Los Angeles starting Wednesday.

Their relationship is so cozy, said defense attorney James D. Riddet,and so extensive that it turns searches by Best Buy into governmentsearches. If theyre going to set up that network between Best Buysupervisors and FBI agents, you run the risk that Best Buy is a branch ofthe FBI.

President Trump decreased the US Debt in his first 100 days by $100Billion. (President Obama increased the US debt in his first 100 daysby more than $560 Billion.)

The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in this period whichwere the best numbers since 1983 under President Reagan.

President Trump added 298,000 jobs in his first month alone (afterPresident Obama said jobs were not coming back!).

Housing sales are red-hot. In 2011, houses for sale were on the marketan average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.

Illegal immigration is down 67% since President Trump’s Inauguration.

NATO announced Allied spending is up $10 Billion because of President Trump.

After being nominated by President Trump, Constitutionalist Judge NeilGorsuch was confirmed and sworn in as Supreme Court Justice in early April.

The President has signed 66 executive orders, memoranda andproclamations as of April 19th, including:

* Notifying Congress of a strike on Syria after it was reported that thecountry used gas on its citizens.* Dismantling Obama’s climate change initiatives.* Travel bans for individuals from a select number of countriesembroiled in terrorist atrocities.* Enforcing regulatory reform.* Protecting Law enforcement.* Mandating for every new regulation to eliminate two.* Defeating ISIS.* Rebuilding the military.* Building a border wall.* Cutting funding for sanctuary cities.* Approving pipelines.* Reducing regulations on manufacturers.* Placing a hiring freeze on federal employees.* Exiting the US from the TPP.

In addition to all this, the President has met with many foreign leadersfrom across the globe including Xi from China, Abe from Japan, etc.

The President also pointed out numerous times that the MSM (Main StreamMedia) reports only on a made up Russia conspiracy story and ignoresthese accomplishments. These actions are making the majority ofAmericans aware of the tremendous bias in the media in the US andabroad. This too is another major Trump accomplishment.
